Ina Garten is the author of four previous cookbooks, which have sold more than three million copies: The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook, Barefoot Contessa Parties!, Barefoot Contessa Family Style, and Barefoot in Paris. Ina is also the star of the Food Network Show Barefoot Contessa, and her new line of cake mixes, marinades, and condiments can now be found at specialty food stores across America. She lives in East Hampton, New York, and New York City with her husband, Jeffrey. Visit Ina at www.barefootcontessa.com.

Throughout the years that she has lived and worked in East Hampton, Ina Garten has catered and attended countless parties and dinners. She will be the first to tell you, though, that nothing beats a cozy dinner, surrounded by the people you love most, in the comfort that only your own home can provide. In Barefoot Contessa at Home, Ina shares her life in East Hampton, the recipes she loves, and her secrets to making guests feel welcome and comfortable.

For Ina, it's friends and familygathered around the dinner table or cooking with her in the kitchenthat really make her house feel like home. Here Ina offers the tried-and-true recipes that she makes over and over again because they're easy, they work, and they're universally loved. For a leisurely Sunday breakfast, she has Easy Cheese Danishes or Breakfast Fruit Crunch to serve with the perfect Spicy Bloody Mary. For lunch, she has classics with a twist, such as Tomato, Mozzarella, and Pesto Paninis and Old-Fashioned Potato Salad, which are simply delicious. Then there are Ina's homey dinnersfrom her own version of loin of pork stuffed with sautéed fennel to the exotic flavors of Eli's Asian Salmon. And since Ina knows no one ever forgets what you serve for dessert, she includes recipes for outrageously luscious sweets like Peach and Blueberry Crumble, Pumpkin Mousse Parfait, and Chocolate Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Icing.

Ina also lets readers in on her time-tested secrets for cooking and entertaining. Get the inside scoop on everything from what Ina considers when she's designing a kitchen to menu-planning basics and how to make a dinner party fun (here's a hint: it doesn't involve making complicated food!).

Along with beautiful photographs of Ina's dishes, her home, and the East Hampton she loves, this book is filled with signature recipes that strike the perfect balance between elegance and casual comfort. With her most indispensable collection yet, Ina Garten proves beyond a shadow of doubt that there truly is no place like home.

This cookbook is a great way to cook up some good recipes. Easy to follow and prepare. Most of the ingredients are readily available in the grocery store. My daughter liked the book so much I gave it to her for Christmas. All of my girls love to cook and I'm a chef, so a cookbook that gives great recipes is good to have around. I love the way Ina always to make things easy and many you can do ahead of time.
I really enjoy this book ,its up there with my top 50 cookbooks that I collect!

I purchased the cookbook for a gift but have made several recipes from it myself. My guests complemented me on all the wonderful tasting dishes. I shared one of the deserts with a friend and both her guest and mine were very pleased. Ina's instructions are very easy to understand and she tells one step by step how to prepare all the ingredients. Ina does a great job. I would purchase this for another gift.

I want to throw out other cookbooks and set up library of Barefoot Contess books. Everything is easy to follow, pictures make you hungry and recipes come out great. Love those zucchini pancakes and her cake frosting elevated a box cake to a masterpiece.
She is my hero!
